Where did you get the upper side trim? I have ordered some in the past and was very disappointed in the quality. Yours looks great.

Also... where did the side marker lights come from? They are awesome!!!

Side trim is mark 5 I believe I got it from a place called chevy land in Rancho cordova CA and the side markers are marquez. They are billet and I got them for $225 for all 4.

Haha just messing with you, don't listen to the voices in your head or you will have another full blown project on your hands! What's the saying "keep it simple stupid", but if that was the case we wouldn't be on this forum for hrs every day. Have fun & good luck!

What method do you use for "correct placement" of the upper moldings?
Or did the mouldings come with placement instructions?

Everything looks great!

Same question as above...also, what did you attach the trim with? Did you drill any holes?

Thanks

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 
Sure I can answer that. The front fenders were drilled. So I found the old manuals on this forum that showed were and how the trim should be place. I also shows how far the holes should be placed apart. I took the measurements from the manual and the existing holes in the fenders and that was my starting point. I would tell you before you drill for the trim make sure all fender door gaps are correct and make sure bed is level and that all body mounts are good. If the mounts are old and cracked replace them first. My drivers side of the cab was lower by a quarter of an inch. So it is very important to check this before the bed is drilled. The kit was factory so it was retained with clip/nut and bolt trim tabs with plastic double sided tap. I was a long day putting the trim on because I had to almost pull the front clip off to get to the back side of the clips so I can put the nuts on. Hope this helps.

First off I would like to say what a quality product Nate is turning out and his customer service is second to none with the exception of my buisness:lol: But in all seriousness I am super happy with the quality and service. Also I no my truck will be safe and drive better because of his products. So thanks again Nate. Here are some pics of the products. I got the garage cleaned up last night and unpacked the boxes.http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSC_0125.jpg

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 
Thanks for the kind words eric. I am pretty excited to see your build come together. It is a very clean truck and you have great plans for it.

As some know, I still haven't had the chance to put one of these trucks together for myself... yet. :( It's nice to play a role in helping somebody else do it! Soon I will have my own... but for now I live vicariously through my customers' builds!

Any questions, just let me know!

Nate
